Diagnose Meeting Performance and Improve Results

Understand Your Organization's Meeting Performance

Every day your employees run meetings that either move your business forward and create a positive workplace culture–or they endure meetings that hurt your results and alienate people.

The amount of time spent in meetings translates into big money for today's companies. (...) I can say with confidence that there is no single investment of this magnitude that an organization makes that is treated in such a cavalier manner; where so few resources are allocated to assessing, evaluating, and working to improve meetings.

A Four-Part Diagnostic

Meetings are complex, touching all parts of an organization. Knowing this, our proprietary diagnostic process is designed to be efficient—but not reckless. A full diagnostic includes:

A 5-minute survey to highlight the areas of meeting performance where your organization excels and where you should focus improvement efforts.

Meeting observations completed by trained observers who document what's really happening in your meetings, helping everyone see the specific behaviors causing concern.How do people engage in meetings? Don't guess. Know.
To get the biggest impact, we will train a group of your employees to "see meetings" and complete the observations. This keeps your meetings private and gets your team directly involved in your meeting improvement effort right from the start. When complete, these observations form the basis for calculating meeting ROI.

Interviews and/or focus groups that uncover your team's best ideas and stories about the meetings they want to see in your organization.

An inventory of current resources to uncover underutilized resources you already have (e.g., training, equipment, personnel) that need to be put to work and any missing resources you'll need to achieve your performance goals.

Clear Results Leading to Meaningful Action

The diagnostic results include an executive summary that will show how to:
